Curious to see if Roberts actually holds to keeping Kershaw benched until game six. Lester vs Maeda seems like a mismatch of epic proportion for game five but I guess anything can happen in a playoff baseball game.

 

[chicagocubsfan]

Good shit.

 

[Mrbob]

Oh and Fox is creaming hard right now at the prospect of a seven game series. This is how people realized Fox Sports 1 exists.

It is Clayton Kershaw's destiny to be the losing pitcher when the Cubs win the NL pennant

 

[Chuck]

Dude... We haven't won it in a 100+ years... Give us some slack man...

The Cubs should not win the pennant or World Series. Ever.

It's what makes the Cubs the Cubs. Falling just short because of that smelly goat.

 

[JDHarbs]

The sorry Blue Jays might have ruined this postseason by rolling over and dying. A well rested Indian bullpen is probably winning it all anyway.

Extra days off hurt the Royals momentum back in 2014.

If I was a CLE fan, I'd want the NLCS over asap.

Except game 1 is Tuesday no matter what. Plus Cubs Dodgers going at least 6 so one extra day shouldn't make that big a difference.

The time off will be quite valuable for Bauer and Salazar. If both can come back that'd be amazing.

Give me a well rested Andrew Miller over "momentum" any day.

Not to mention Pedro is good friends with Danny Salazar and said "he's 100% going" in the WS. So.

I'd want him to be as rested and healed as possible.

 

[sf2fanatic]

Lol Cubs fan with the mask getting trolled by SVP

He's going to in the bp, right?

 

[Frozenprince]

Likely, him and Miller back to back is deadly.

 

[sf2fanatic]

Vinny going to be at the game tomorrow? I hope so if it's true

 

[Mr. Enigma]

I'm amazed that we're finally seeing managers dump on the closer thing and bring their best relief pitchers in innings where they are most needed.

If Terry Collins adopts this strategy, I'll eat my Mets cap.

Thanks Showalter!

I'm assuming Bauer will be good to go. I have a feeling Salazar won't be ready so if there's a need for a 4th starter it will probably be Merritt or Clevinger.

 

[Silver Arrows]

Thanks Showalter!

Nobody wants to make that boneheaded maneuver.

They already said World Series starts on Tuesday no matter the outcome of the NLCS goes.
E: I co signing what Lee Chaolan said on his post

 

[gamz]

Yeah, I heard the same. In the regular season it's no biggie. During the postseason I don't think we will see him the rest of the series.

He said it's nothing and he's ready to go for tomorrow.

 

[Hobbun]

He said it's nothing and he's ready to go for tomorrow.

That is great to hear. I am glad that was resolved quickly, the hamstring can be a gray area sometimes.

 

[Dr_LawyerCop]

He said it's nothing and he's ready to go for tomorrow.

Glad it's nothing big with Edwards. I love that guy, just electric stuff. Is he in the pen long term or do we still have hope he develops into a starter? Haven't heard what the plans are with him.

Way to thin to be a starter at this point. I'm not sure if he has the strength to be a starter at this point and time.

Last three games have been most watched on that channel, speed channel included.

 

[gamz]

I don't have cable so I've been use Sling TV for just this month and I'm really liking it. Much more then I thought I would.

sling tv is the dish network online only?

 

[Dr_LawyerCop]

sling tv is the dish network online only?

It's a standalone internet TV service. It's like $20 and works pretty good. I would have picked it up for the playoffs if I wasn't using my parent's direct tv log in.

 

[sf2fanatic]

Baseballs are going to fly out tonight. 90°+ weather at game time

 

[Choomp]

goooooooo kenta

 

[sf2fanatic]

Shryuken!!!

 

[Sanjuro]

This postseason is the best case scenario for me. Sure, my team is out, but I get to see Sox corpses everywhere.

I only wish Damon was still here. :'(

 

[bebop242]

Holy shit that stadium is empty.

Same singer 3 days in a row?

 

[Velcro Fly]

Pulling out all the stops tonight in LA. Respect.

 

[Mrbob]

Vin da gawd. Glad he could show up for the final dodgers game in LA this season.

 

[Mrbob]

Where is the crowd? Fashionably late?

 

[Line_HTX]

Come on, Maeda-san. What the fuck....

 

[Velcro Fly]

I have friends that are Cubs fans at this game. One of them lives in LA now too.

 

[Line_HTX]

goooooooo kenta

LMAO

 

[chicagocubsfan]

Rizzo is back

 

[Line_HTX]

God, fuck the Cubs.

 

[Raziel]

That didn't take long.

 

[Velcro Fly]

Matt Szczur's bat though

 

[Silkworm]

Start warming up the bullpen *sigh*

 

[AmyS]

GO CUBS crush them Dogers.

 

[Choomp]

I want to cry

 

[brianjones]

kenta is so fucking mediocre ugh

 

[chicagocubsfan]

Cmon we need more than 1

 

[Velcro Fly]

Wasn't a strike to the guy before and wasn't a strike to him earlier in the AB.

*shrug*

 

[Mrbob]

Cmon Baez gotta swing at that especially when Heyward the rally killer is behind you.

 

[Line_HTX]

Bailout strikeout, lol
